lyrics

Bobby’s got a shotgun and a 44
Gonna take a little trip down the liquor store
Deep, deep urge to settle a score
And he ain’t gonna take no shit no more

Girlfriend Suzy’s gonna wait in the car
And hawkeye the road for the Silver Star
She’d like to run but she won’t get far
He said, baby I’ll get you wherever you are
So don’t run, don’t run

True Romance was her favorite film
And she’d like to go down that way
She always dreamed of the beaches in Spain
But it’s the only reason she has to stay

She waits in the car and she listen to Coltrane
Hard to see anything through this rain
Sweet jazz music used to ease all her pain
So why all these tears that she can’t explain?

It’s taking too long man, something ain’t right
Two shots fired in the darkening night
Three figures emerge, but they ain’t her man
So she’s gonna run just as fast as she can

True Romance was her favorite film
And she’d like to go down that way
Hollywood ain’t as real as it seem
Guess he wasn’t the man that she saw in her dreams

Repeat 2nd chorus

Down To The Styx

Crook and the Bluff is probably my favorite Utah band right now. Bluesy, eerie and psychedelic desert sounds. Cool stuff. Mikael Lewis

Praise the Goat
by The Cold Year

The Cold Year is a dark yet fun hybrid of garage rock, psychedelia dirty prog rock and gypsy jazz fusion. One of the coolest bands in Utah. Mikael Lewis
